High Protein Chocolate Banana Bread

This is one of those recipes I come back to when I want something sweet but still relatively balanced. The bananas give it natural sweetness, the cocoa powder brings that chocolate flavor, and the protein powder helps make it a little more filling than regular banana bread. Each slice comes out to just around 100 calories with a bit of protein, so it works well as a quick snack, breakfast with coffee, or even a lighter dessert. It’s also easy to make in one bowl and stores well in the fridge for a few days.
